A 1,215-kg car traveling initially with a speed of 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the rear end of a 8,100-kg truck moving in the same direction at 20.0 m/s(see figure below). The velocity of the car right after the collision is 18.0 m/s to the east.

(a) What is the velocity of the truck right after the collision? (Round your answer to at least three decimal places.)
=______ m/s (east)

(b) How much mechanical energy is lost in the collision?
